Chapter Summary
For the Lord of the Manor, making a different choice is not so easy, because most of the resources are with the eldest son, and the youngest son does not have many resources. Please forgive me, Father." Zhu Tianhua had been doing odd jobs lately, and since he didn't have much to do, it was rare that Liu Ning could use him. The Mage Guild isn't going to hold it against him for now, but they will definitely not let this matter go." Zhu Tianhua didn't take the eldest son's words to heart at all.
For the Lord of the Manor, making a different choice is not so easy, because most of the resources are with the eldest son, and the youngest son does not have many resources. If he makes the wrong choice, it could bring annihilation to the entire family.
"Brother is right. I have really gone too far lately. I would like to take this opportunity to acknowledge my aunts to Father and Brother. Please forgive me. I will drink this first as a sign of respect."
Zhu Tianhua's face was expressionless, as if he had really done something wrong. In fact, Zhu Tianhua didn't want to argue with his older brother. After all, this was at home. The more time he spent socializing outside, the more Zhu Tianhua felt that home was very warm and cozy. So, under these circumstances, Zhu Tianhua usually wouldn't cause trouble.
However, Zhu Tianhua's forbearance was seen as weakness and incompetence by his elder brother, who looked at him with disdain. The city lord, on the other hand, did have a smile on his face, neither humble nor arrogant, which should be an important sign of becoming a great figure. So, the younger son has not yet become a great figure, but this is something that the elder son does not possess.
"Except in front of my father, I'm afraid it's not like this anywhere else. It's become increasingly fake over the years..."
The boss absolutely despised Zhu Tianhua's attitude. In his eyes, if Zhu Tianhua truly knew he was wrong, he would never act like this. In the boss's mind, if he wanted to argue with you, you had to win. If you didn't argue with him, it was obvious that he didn't respect him. In fact, the boss was an absolute idiot when it came to politics. If it weren't for his father being the city lord, others would probably have taken action against him long ago. Would he still be able to hold on to his position?
Moreover, he was given a lot of resources in the early stages, which is why people thought he was a good guy. In fact, if those resources were given to someone else, that person might have done a better job.
"Eat your meal properly. It's rare for us to get together at home. If anyone causes trouble at the table in the future, don't blame me for being impolite. This is a place for family gatherings, not for arguing. I've noticed you've made quite a few sales lately. Are you very busy? I haven't known what you've been up to since the selection competition."
On the surface, the old man was scolding his two sons, but he was actually mainly scolding his eldest son. His younger son had only apologized and said nothing else after returning. If he were to scold the younger son as well, it would seem unfair. Moreover, the question was ultimately directed at the younger son, which made the eldest son feel embarrassed. What did his father mean? Did he not respect him as the eldest son? If so, he would have to carefully consider his future. Everything he had was given to him by his father, and if his father didn't support him, he didn't know how he would survive.
"Father, I haven't been idle either. As you know, Mr. Liu has acquired an armored regiment, and there are many things that need to be procured. Mr. Liu isn't very good at these things, so he entrusted this task to me. I'm not very good at this either, so I can only ask around for help. Fortunately, with your connections, Father, I was able to gather all these things. Because the quantity to be procured is quite large, many people are unwilling to spend time on it, so I have to coordinate with each supplier one by one. That's why I've been back less often lately. Please forgive me, Father."
Zhu Tianhua had been doing odd jobs lately, and since he didn't have much to do, it was rare that Liu Ning could use him. Zhu Tianhua's statement was actually a form of boasting. Everyone knew that Liu Ning was a hot topic now, and as long as one could get close to him or be associated with him, one's future would be limitless.
Moreover, everyone knows that the armored regiment is Liu Ning's greatest weapon. Even if an ordinary person wants to get involved, they have to see if they have the ability. Even if they have the ability, if they are not allowed to enter, they can only watch from the sidelines. Zhu Tianhua was able to participate, even if it was just to do odd jobs, which is already enough to brag about. Therefore, the eldest son's face was frosty.
"What a useless piece of trash! You think you've found a great job? They're just making you do odd jobs, and they're only after your father's social connections. Can't you see that? If you can't even see that, how are you going to survive in society? Do you really think that guy is so kind? I really don't know what to say to you. If you can't even see this, then you'd better stay home and behave yourself. Don't go out and embarrass yourself. If you still don't understand the situation, then let me tell you this: stay away from that guy from now on. He's offended the mages, don't you know that? The Mage Guild isn't going to hold it against him for now, but they will definitely not let this matter go."
Zhu Tianhua didn't take the eldest son's words to heart at all. In this day and age, can anyone reap rewards without sowing? Although Liu Ning had offended the Mage Guild, the Mage Guild wasn't stupid. Of course, they wouldn't choose to make a move at this time. Moreover, the forces behind Liu Ning were very powerful. If the Mage Guild really made a move, it might not necessarily be a bad thing for Liu Ning. Therefore, Zhu Tianhua really didn't know what to say about the eldest son's insight.
Do you even understand negotiations at that level? If you don't understand, then don't make your own statements. It's understandable for ordinary people to think this way, because they don't have that kind of judgment. But you've grown up in a family like that, and you don't have that either. That's truly pathetic.
Zhu Tianhua remained silent about his eldest son's words. In his view, such a person was no longer on his level; if he couldn't even see things clearly, what was the point of discussing them? He truly didn't understand how things had developed to this point. Zhu Tianhua also didn't want to say much in front of his father, as his father had been the one to push his elder brother into this position. If he continued to discuss it, his father would lose face, so it was best to remain silent.
